Backpax Magazine is a free guide for Backpacking in Great Britain and Europe. Backpax Online is the web-based version of the magazine and tends to all your backpacking needs at the click of a mouse. Also you can buy wall-maps and posters & funky postcards as a souvenir or gift.

This site offers up to date advice and information on all you need to know when travelling in Britain. From accommodation, employment and tours to the up and coming events that you just can't miss, Backpax Online enables you to gather all the information you require before even arriving in Britain.

If you're already here then use the site hand in hand with the actual magazine (which is FREE and can be picked up in Hostels, Language Schools, Tourist Information Centres and Libraries across the UK).

The season of festivals, fun and frolics has arrived. Britain is owed sunshine this year, to counter balance the amount of rain we endured last summer. Whatever the weather, step into the great outdoors to enjoy all the natural beauty and creativity on offer.

There are an abundance of fabulous backpacker hostels around the country for you to stay in. City, coastal and rural settings all provide home-from-home accommodation. Tours are a great way to meet like-minded travellers. If it's work you're after, look no further than our jobs section. Once you've travelled around Britain, head over to Europe for more culture and sun. Funky hostels are plentiful! Backpax is teeming with ideas of what to do and where to go. Dip in and see what takes your fancy. Please remember to mention Backpax to all the advertisers. This helps us keep your favourite travel mag free. Most of all, enjoy your summer and create memories which will last a lifetime!
